Great advice Amma! I'm doing two blocks for each BOM.
1. I took from a couple 2 yard pieces of matching fabrics in my stash and added some complementary fabrics to the selection. 2. I have chosen one fabric (a neutral white on beige) to be my background in every month's block and then pulling from my scraps for each month. The unifying color being the background.
